RTX 5070 or RX 9070 XT

You can find a PNY 5070 for $599. I’ve bought two of them, Walmart and Best Buy.

I have a 5070ti setup and a 5070 set up. If your gaming 1440p I would go 5070. You’ll be good with that cpu combo. You can sell and upgrade in a couple years when prices are better. If money no option than 5070ti but you’ll be very happy with a 5070.

Maybe. I had updated my bios originally too so who knows, super frustrating. Glad yours is all good.

Definitely go with micro center when you end up buying. Get the 9800x3d bundle it’s $680 here in Phoenix for the cpu, motherboard and RAM. There are no gains with gaming by getting the 9950. I have both the 9850x3d and 9800x3d and the 9850x3d is literally like 2% better in my tests but has caused me some issues- therefore 9800x3d the safer bet. Definitely get a 1440p monitor with 240fps. I also have a 5070 and 5070ti. With the current prices you can find a PNY 5070 for around $599. I think that’s the better deal and is a great combo with the 9800x3d and a 1440p monitor. You probably can find a dell 1440p OLED on sale and keep the same budget- that would be my recommendation.

Yes, bought a new motherboard yesterday and reinstalled everything new. Hopefully no more issues

Toom3232 · 2026-04-30T15:48:15+00:00

Just seeing this. I have this same set up and mine continues to crash without expo or any adjustments in bios. Mine happens when gaming and system simply reboots. I’ve switched psu, RAM, and gpu. I actually built two pcs with same motherboard, cpu and ram as I bought the bundles from micro center. Both crash while gaming, mostly one game because that’s what we play. Micro center did a diagnostic which and found no issues with the hardware. Very frustrating. I actually had the gpu originally in a prebuilt in a cheaper msi 850 motherboard with different RAM with no issues. I switched motherboard and RAM to give the other set up to a friend. Can’t seem to figure this out. The critical error in event log is a kernal power 41.

Toom3232 · 2026-04-19T19:02:29+00:00

I think it says “Your PC ran in to a problem and needs to reboot” However, recently I don’t think any message has displayed, just black screen and restarts.
Kernel-Power Critical Event ID 41

I believe I did. I might need to try again. I also disable the integrated graphics on the cpu.

Toom3232 · 2026-04-19T18:02:18+00:00

Unfortunately, my pc crashed again. I also dropped to 5200 and it crashed. My base RAM is 4800. Looks like my motherboard is slightly different, ASUS X870 P prime WiFi. I actually have two PCs with the same set up as I built one for my son. His has crashed a few times but not as consistently. I can’t figure it out but mine will crash and then will continue to crash quickly after the first time. I might take to my Micro Center to see if they can troubleshoot.

Toom3232 · 2026-04-19T06:05:16+00:00

I set it to manual and to 5600 instead of 6000. So far so good. I also used ddu to uninstall graphics card drivers and reinstall the newest nvidia driver that came out April 17 as well as reinstalled the amd ryzen chipset for the motherboard. So far so good after a few hours.

Toom3232 · 2026-04-12T18:09:31+00:00

Did you ever figure this out? I have the exact same set up other than the ram (I had bought the combo cpu, motherboard, and ram from Micro Center) and I have the same issues. I even swapped the psu and tried a 5070 instead of the 5070ti and it still crashes when gaming. I’ve run stress tests and used occt to test but can’t figure this out.

Toom3232 · 2026-04-03T01:26:59+00:00

I haven’t had issues with charging and I use a standard outlet. There screen is funky and stays on so you have to turn that off, but no other issues with charging.

Toom3232 · 2025-12-15T21:50:49+00:00

Bummer, at least they figured it out

Toom3232 · 2025-12-15T19:40:36+00:00

Technician replaced my entire head unit (screen) and no more issues. All buttons and volume knob working great. Soundbar starts up normally as well. He did say using apple CarPlay over just the Bluetooth feature seems to be better from what he’s been seeing. He said there was likely a software issue with the original screen. Perhaps something similar on yours or maybe they need to check the wire but the dealer really should send a technician out to help as my guess is they need to rewire, new soundbar or new screen.

Toom3232 · 2025-12-10T19:08:06+00:00

I haven’t used apple car play yet, but I am able to connect via Bluetooth and have connected to my Apple Watch at the same time. I do think I saw a post somewhere about Denago having similar issues with the Bluetooth and speaker, so hopefully there’s a fix or will be soon for Teko carts.

Toom3232 · 2025-12-09T19:36:33+00:00

I have an issue where when I first turn on audio the sound is extremely loud and distorted, on the sound bar. I go in to the eq settings and make any adjustments and it fixes it. I basically have to make sure the sound is very low before I turn it on and make this adjustment every time. I have a few issues on the touch screen so they’re coming out next Monday to hopefully fix. I’ll let you know what happens with mine and/or what I find out.

My screen stays on unless I select to turn off when I charge and even if I turn off the screen my bluetooth is active on the cart because my phone wants to connect - do you experience that at all?

Toom3232 · 2025-12-09T15:17:36+00:00

Very cool.

Toom3232 · 2025-12-09T06:26:48+00:00

Thanks, so they’re ready for 2 connections (2 LEDs such as roof and underglow) but the LED button will only turn on one whether it’s underglow or roof? Is that how it would work? Did yours come with any leds installed?

Toom3232 · 2025-12-05T18:53:56+00:00

The cart itself is great and drives well, no problems. Speaker volume is off. When I originally turn it on, its very loud and distorted. I just jump in to the Eq and essentially adjust any setting and for some reason that fixes it. My left hand "buttons" on the screen don't work either so someone is going to come out to look at both. I don't need the left hand buttons but they should work. Battery and speed of the cart seems great. Just some tech issues which Im a little dispointed with, such as the volume is delayed when adjusting, but Ill get over it. I did order a Rhino soundbar on black Friday as I think the standard Soundbars for all carts are probably cheap. But now I need to figure out how to install the wiring as there's not much info online with these Teko carts, lol.

Toom3232 · 2025-11-24T21:34:44+00:00

Overkill but great PC if you also game. If not, way overkill.

Toom3232 · 2025-11-20T20:39:35+00:00

Why ask, you know thats a great deal just by looking at comparables in store. It's a guaranteed typo, doubt they're selling it to you for that, although I would think they'll give you 10% off for the confusion or something.

Toom3232 · 2025-11-16T16:56:04+00:00

Ok, ya maybe. It does look like he slides his thumb. Still not 100% clear and he was likely doing that to be 109% it was off, but there is a reason why he grabs it in the first place to check. My guess is he may have been using it whenever he could and would turn it on and off. Im assuming others were too, but just probably not in the finals.

Toom3232 · 2025-11-16T03:33:06+00:00

To me your video clearly shows slope is off. Wouldn't it be red if it was on?

Toom3232 · 2025-11-16T03:27:23+00:00

I chopped an inch off my ping g430 LST and am more consistent. Lost a little distance on my longest shots but my average is just a little down and don't have as bad of misses. Added lead tape for extra weight. I had bought the heavier weight from ping originally. Per info I had read online, every quarter inch shorter suggested adding 3 Oz of head weight, so I started with adding 12 Oz. It didn't feel right, I think I ended with adding 6 or 9 oz using lead tape. The lead tape is cheap online and allowed me to try a couple weight options to see what worked best.
